University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences teaches the fundamentals of introductory physics, while weaving in formative physiology, biomedical, and life science topics to help students connect physics to living systems. The authors help life science and pre-med students develop a deeper appreciation for why physics is important to their future work and daily lives. With its thorough coverage of concepts and problem-solving strategies, University Physics for the Physical and Life Sciences can also be used as a novel approach to teaching physics to engineers and scientists or for a more rigorous approach to teaching the college physics (algebra-based) course.

W. H. Freeman and WebAssign have partnered to deliver WebAssign Premium - a comprehensive and flexible suite of resources for your Physics course. Combining the mostly widely used online homework platform with a wealth of visualization and tutorial resources, WebAssign Premium extends and enhances the classroom experience for instructors and students. It includes:

eBook - The entire text is available in a user-friendly online format, including all tables, figures, and study aids.

Interactive Conceptual Resources - Animations allow students to visualize concepts and manipulate variables to see cause-and-effect relationships within physics scenarios. A bank of question-oriented animations ask students to predict the outcome of a real-life situation, demonstrating a practical application of a concept.

Interactive Exercises - Developed by physics education researchers at the University of Illinois, these questions feature in-depth tutorials, which provide step-by-step feedback and a series of subquestions to guide students to the correct answer. Using the tutorials creates a conceptual understanding that can be applied to other problems.

P'Casts - These videos replicate the face-to-face experience of watching an instructor work a problem. Using a virtual whiteboard, the P'Cast tutors show students the steps involved in solving key worked examples, while explaining the concepts along the way.

Questions Available within WebAssign

Most questions from this textbook are available in WebAssign. The online questions are identical to the textbook questions except for minor wording changes necessary for Web use. Whenever possible, variables, numbers, or words have been randomized so that each student receives a unique version of the question. This list is updated nightly.
